Drag & drop also with cardlist.Open

The backlog of the Universal GUI is really missing drag and drop from a cardlist. In a web-environment a card-list is quite often used (at least we do) and it is really a pity that apparently the drag-drop functionality will not be implemented for this component. I would really like to see drag-drop also from cardlist aside the grid and tree.

Process Flow arrange functionality back in SF UniversalOpen

Hi,It would be greate to bring the arrange functionality back to the process flow designer screen!Currently, I'm really struggling to get a clear format, that's partly due to how the lines originate from the output side, especially when using a loop or multiple lines. As a result, it starts making strange turns on its own in the design screen.Maybe you are already working on that, in which case I haven't said anything haha.

Centralized AI-Enrichment Repository in the Software FactoryOpen

SummaryAllow Thinkwise customers to share AI-enrichments they've created in their own Software Factory to a central, curated repository managed by Thinkwise — so that the entire customer community can discover, import, and benefit from enrichments written by others.The Problem TodayEach Thinkwise development-team develops AI-enrichments independently in their own Software Factory. There is no mechanism to share these enrichments with the broader Thinkwise community, which means:Customers reinvent the wheel building similar or identical enrichments. Valuable knowledge and innovation stays locked inside individual tenants. Smaller teams with fewer resources benefit less from AI capabilities compared to larger customers who invest more in development.The Proposed SolutionIntroduce a Shared AI-Enrichment Hub within the Software Factory, with the following flow:Create locally — A customer builds an AI-enrichment in their own Software Factory as they do today. Opt-in to share — The customer can choose to submit their enrichment to Thinkwise for inclusion in the central repository. Review & curate — Thinkwise reviews the submission for quality, safety, and relevance before publishing it. Distribute — Approved enrichments become available to all Thinkwise customers, who can browse, preview, and import them into their own Software Factory with one click.BenefitsFor customers sharing their enrichments:Recognition within the community as a contributor. Potential for Thinkwise to provide feedback and quality improvement. Contribution to an ecosystem they also benefit from.For customers consuming enrichments:Faster time-to-value — no need to build common enrichments from scratch. Access to high-quality, real-world enrichments built by experienced peers. Inspiration for building their own enrichments.For the Thinkwise ecosystem overall:Accelerates AI adoption across the entire customer base. Builds a vibrant, collaborative community around the platform. Thinkwise gains insight into how customers are using AI in practice, informing product direction.Possible Limitations & ConsiderationsGovernance & quality control Thinkwise would need a review process to ensure submitted enrichments meet quality, security, and privacy standards. Versioning and maintenance Enrichments may break or become outdated as Thinkwise evolves. A lifecycle policy is needed — who is responsible for maintaining a shared enrichment over time?Context dependency Many enrichments are highly tailored to a specific domain or data model. Generic enrichments will transfer well; niche ones may be less reusable and cause confusion if imported out of context.Discoverability As the repository grows, good tagging, categorization, and search functionality become critical. Without them, the repository risks becoming cluttered.Security & data privacy Customers must be sure that submitting an enrichment doesn't inadvertently expose proprietary data or business logic embedded in the enrichment's prompts or configuration.Suggested Scope for MVPA simple submission flow from the Software Factory to Thinkwise. A basic browsable gallery of approved enrichments, filterable by category or use case. One-click import into the customer's own Software Factory. Clear contributor attribution and a basic rating/feedback mechanism.

Bring back hotkey for combined filter (search)Planned

In the Windows GUI we were able to use CTRL-G to put our cursor in the combined filter (search).We would love to have this feature in Universal, where the hotkey would take you to the (nearest) combined filter for the current subject.

The profile menu shows several options. We would like to choose which options are shown, based on user groups. Not all options are needed. It would be great if this could be configured in IAM

Effective user rights permissionsOpen

We are currently tightening user permissions within our IAM applications. Each company has its own IAM application with at least one key user. A key user supports IAM activities and is responsible for maintaining the role/permission structure for other users.We have reviewed the key-user responsibilities and adjusted permissions so they only have what they need. As part of this, we removed access that allowed changes to application-level settings. We no longer want to assign Main Administrator or Application Administrator roles to key users.Since these changes, key users can no longer access the “Effective user rights” table. This table is very useful for them because it provides a clear overview of what permissions users effectively have.Is there a way to grant access to the “Effective user rights” table by adding the required permissions to one of the following groups, without giving admin roles? Our key users currently have these roles:Application owners Group administrators User administrators Simulators

In the Debug Center both the error log and the database event log both have clear button. But the process flow monitor does not. Sometimes you want to clear this screen please also add a clear button.

Long and short translation for tasks/reportsOpen

We would like to see separate translations for the button and the popup for tasks and reports. For this we would like a short(for the button) and long translation(for the popup) for tasks/reports.This is not possible at the moment. There's only 1 translation and you can choose to either show it or not and with or without an icon.For example this task has this translation using abbrevations because otherwise the button would be too big.When we open the popup it shows this: It shows the same translation.We would like to translate the header of this popup separately. In this case we would like to translate it to: Wijzigen koersafwijking ingedekt t.o.v. calculatie.

Add grid views (in addition to prefilters)Open

Context  To create different grid layouts (i.e. active columns, sort order, fixed columns, etc) for users, we now have to rely on developers (i.e. design-time) to create Variants. Variants are a good way to also control many other things in a screen, but oftentimes users only want a different grid layout (mostly when they change a prefilter) while the rest of the screen must remain the same.  An example of this is when a user switches between working with open sales-orderlines or invoiced sales-orderlines:  When working with open sales-orderlines, the invoice-ID-column is not relevant but showing the available stock columns is.   When working with invoiced sales-orderliness, the invoice-ID-column is relevant but the available stock column is not.   It is currently also not possible to not have only a selection of all possible columns activated when a user opens a screen for the first time (now default behavior is all columns are active and this cannot be controlled).   Feature request We ask for the ability for end users and application managers (in IAM) to save and share Views at runtime. Views will live directly next to prefilters and the combination of both is very powerful.  A view will be able to store and retrieve:   Visible columns / column sequence  Column width  # Left pinned (frozen) columns (make this user-controlled)  Column sorting (single/multi-sort, sort direction)  Grouping settings (if user controlled and made possible in future Thinkwise release)  Paging size (if user controlled and made possible in future Thinkwise release)   Additional features:  Have the option to load a view, change settings in the grid, and save the new settings over the existing view or as a new view.   At least 1 view must be the default view.   When managing views (in a pop-up-screen), have the option to set one or more default prefilter(s) for the view.   When managing prefilters (in a pop-up-screen), have the option to set a default view for the prefilter.   Using IAM, an application manager should be able to copy a view that a (key) user created and promote is to a ‘standard view’ for a screen-variant/user-group combination. This achieves that certain ‘standard’ views can be distributed to user teams centrally.

Make auto-refresh depend on server timeOpen

Auto-refresh is done based on the last refresh timestamp generated by the client, as the client and server can be out of sync for many reasons this leads so situations where the auto-refresh works incorrectly. This can lead to extra or missing refreshes.My suggestion is to include current server timestamp in the reply of the entity or auto-refresh procedure and use this as the input parameter to send with the next auto-refresh check.This way we are never in situation where we can have any desync of clocks.I am aware there are ways to avoid this issue but all are a workaround to essentially a solvable issue.

Copying Variant settings to DefaultOpen

Is there a way of changing a Default Subject settings to be the same as one of its Variants?Transitioning to Universal we have made a Variant for most of our Subjects to give the Subject an updated look in Universal and leave the Windows Default unchanged.When we will stop using Windows, I would like if I can “make a Variant a Default”. It would be pretty tedious to manually change everything.

Apply button for prefilter pop-upOpen

It is annoying that the filter pop-up is immediately closed when changing a prefilter that is part of an "OR" group.This problem mainly occurs on small devices, where filters must be set with a pop-up.I can imagine that it is difficult to come up with an intuitive solution for this. It might be an idea to add an 'Apply' button in those cases.

I use dark mode in the Software Factory and SSMS. It’s great that since the Software Factory is available via the Univeral GUI, that it supports dark mode.However, the Debug Center is missing this feaute and is always in ‘light’ mode:It would be great if the Debug Center gets dark mode as well since it’s used a lot during development.Yours sincerely,My eyes

Currently it’s only possible to add a theme to a “User” or a “User Group”.In our situation we have a theme for an application and platform.As we also have a lot of user groups it's quite a lot of work assigning the same theme to all user groups on all platforms (for our full DTAP we also have 4 IAM’s)So please make it possible to assign a theme on application level also add the possibility to differentiate on platform and set a default menu.Functionality can be placed as a detail tab under “General settings” at the application in IAM

Restore prefilter status when opening a new documentNew

For universal please make the prefilters act like they did in windows gui. If a document is closed, or a new document is opened restore the default prefilter status. In universal if i am on a screen to show all customers. I can deactivate a prefilter to show inactive customers. The next time I open this screen the prefilter will still be deactivated. Why? The default is there for a reason, it’s the most logical set of prefilters to show the screen when opening. This is one feature where windows gui is still supreme. Please change this to make the universal gui easier to use.

Keep state of document when switchen between "Open documents" in the menuNew

When for example working in the Software Factory, it is not strange to swap between the multiple opened documents. Unfortunately that also means that certain states get returned to their default.Ex:1) You have the Subject entity open and are looking at the columns tab. You have moved your horizontal scrollbar to the right to see the “Context input” column. After having checked something in another document and return to the Subject entity, the scroll bar is again at the start and the “Context input” is again out of sight. Similar behaviour for vertical scrolled grids or forms.2) Another example is the process flow design. You are zooming out to make some space where you intend to put new actions and have some room to move stuff around if needed. After returning it is back to a zoomed in state to just fit all placed actions inside.3) Last example is one of the more annoying ones, which might not entirely fit in this idea as it probably has another cause. You are working on a functionality and have your template open in your IDE and the Thinkwise Workspace Listener is keeping you saved changes in sync. You deploy the current saves state and notice an error. You get back to your IDE to correct this, as the file is still opened, and now the file does not save as it is disconnected.Please keep the state of the document to what it is when leaving it to go to another document, so you continue with what you were doing there.

Lookup control option for grid filterNew

Hello!I created this idea as result of this post: Basically, what we suggest is that there should be an option to specify the lookup control for grid filters, we received feedback from users about this and since that can be changed for form/tasks, will be nice to have it also in here.Regarding performance mentioned in the post, one solution can be to have the sort defined and then pick top 100 for example and if you don't have what you want there to still be able to type and search it.

Navigation buttons "previous" "next" for detailsOpen

A use case that happens ins many cases is where you have the grid with a detail tab with the form and other elements. For the user It's quite cumbersome to be going back and forth every time he wants to see the details of a couple of items in a row. I really miss the previous and next navigation buttons in the detail, where you can jump easily to the next or previous item in the context without the need to go back.

Option to have responsive field height in SFOpen

Based on the question I posted yesterday, I asked if its possible to have an optionfor a field to be responsive in height for Universal GUI. This can be used for fields that are meant for paragraphs of strings, like HTML and multilines since we only have in my knowledge to set fix height in SF->Subjects.Responsive field height for example will try to extend its height based on the remainingspace if there are available below it. This is very useful for applications that can be used for mobile view and web view Question:https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/questions-conversations-78/is-it-possible-to-have-responsive-field-height-in-universal-gui-2785

Simplify use of Refresh Model task during developmentCompleted

During development, the "Refresh Model" task may be called hundreds of times per day.It might be an idea to move the task to the header bar or assign a Shortkey to the task.And at the same time ignore all warnings, because they do not matter during development. This will definitely save a lot of time during development.

Ability to define Reports with report type: None (dummy report)Completed

Just like with tasks, I would like to create and use dummy reports. The reason for this is so the icons in the application are better ordered. Tasks are with other tasks and reports with other reports.Left Tasks - Right ReportsThe reason we need a dummy report is to start a process flow. The process flow then activates a task that will insert a row in a sort of Queue table. This queue table will limit the selection of rows that DevExpress will use to make it's report; thus making the process a lot faster.So this task need to be run before opening the report. But the task cannot be the starting point for the process flow and therefor we need to use a dummy report.
